Thanks for sharing the pictures. That KO looks really good. I hadn’t ordered him or Ricochet initially, figuring I’d wait for Ricochet at retail or lower. May have to grab that KO after seeing these images.

I still think I'm gonna get the new Kevin. He has troll face, but I think he would be improved a bit by painting his hair and beard the correct color. I'm waiting till he goes way down in price though. I want him, but I'm not paying over 20 dollars for a figure I'm gonna have to fixup right out of the box.

just got my order of Elite 81 + 114 Rhea from Ringside!  Elite 81
Mae YoungAs a child of the 90s I would like to thank Bill for finally giving me a mini version of the Arggo Crag from GUTS (aka the Mae Young Classic Trophy). As for Mae, pretty good looking figure, and I wish I had Mark Henry with me to do a proper picture of Mae and her lovely hand child, maybe when I get home lol.      Family Reunion Shinsuke NakamuraI actually really like the chase more, but I can not justify buying another Nakamura even if the blue 1 is different. This one is obviously must have because of the new Intercontinental Championship, even though I can't stand the new belt in real life, but it's nice to finally have it.     'Stunning' Steve AustinMuch like wishing I had Henry with me for Mae, I do not have Pillman available at the moment to take a picture with Austin. I ordered a second Austin on another order due in December with some other stuff since I want both tag belts and don't want to wait. I noticed this figures boots are on the wrong legs, simple heat and switch but I thought that was kind of funny.      The RockI get why you would want to include the biggest star on the planet in your line as often as possible, but this is a pretty bleh figure to me. Great to have for the updated tattoos, but at the same time it depressed me seeing it, reminding me the iconic Brahma Bull has been covered up. The line on the pants of my figure are not aligned properly which is also very frustrating.    Bianca BelairAnother absolutely great female elite, just like Bayley from the previous series, this one came out great! The jacket is awesome, the gear is really great, scan is perfect. Home run figure.       'The Street Profits'
Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins I talked a lot of sh*t about the Dawkins figure, and while I still think the torso is way too big, in hand I like the figure a lot more than I expected. The Ford figure is great as well, love the accessories, my only wish was that the gold glove hands were able to hold his solo cup instead of being wide open, but that is a minor complaint. I hope they eventually make the Profits in the Raptors gear. I would say I hope Dawkins gets another look to change some things, but SpReAdSHeetZ will prevent that from ever happening.          Rhea RipleyMan I really hope the Elite comes out better than the basic, cause they did Rhea dirty with this figure. Had to have this as a placeholder since I forgot which series elite Rhea was scheduled for.   
the wait for Ultimate Series 7 is on, can not wait for the Fiend and Hollywood! |

Ton of stuff from Ringside got delivered last week, finally got around to open everything and take pictures!  Basic 114 Shorty GThe Shorty G gimmick was 1 of the worst thing's I've ever seen, though I think Gable is extremely talented, I hope he gets a real chance now that the Shorty G gimmick has been dropped. With that said, the scan on this figure looks great, popped it onto his old elite because I highly doubt hes getting an elite any time soon.     Basic 114 Kofi KingstonOnly got it for the full blonde haired head, will swap it onto 1 of his more recent elites soon.   Elite 82 Rob GronkowskiI am not a big football fan, but I know enough to understand how big of a name Gronk is, however whatever his WWE run was supposed to be, was extremely forgettable. If this figure helps get other celebrity figures like Tyson, Rodman, etc. somehow, then cool.      Finn BalorGreat scan on this figure, not really much else to say for me.      John MorrisonI want to like the scan, but I still don't think Mattel nailed it, looks a little too puffy in the cheeks I think. The jacket is nice, but nothing will beat the Elite 4 jacket.       Alexa BlissIs this figure supposed to have BLISS down her kick pads or no? I know the detail on the side of her trunks is missing but I wasn't sure about the kickers. The worst part about this figure is I already ordered a 2nd one to get the other Women's Tag Belt BEFORE I saw that they didn't fix the "WOMEH'S" on the belt.        Keith LeeReally love how this figure came out, glad to have an elite Lee finally.       Jerry 'the King' LawlerI really was not expecting to care much for this figure, but in hand, it is probably the best of the set I think. Love the gear, the robe, scan, everything. Great figure.         WrestleMania 2 Mr. T/Rowdy Roddy PiperOne of the boots on my Piper is messed up on the bottom, have to heat it up and try and fix it, besides that really like this 2 pack. The robes look great.              Ultimate Edition 7 The FiendI love any Ultimate figure that has the jacket arm pieces, it feels like that is the kind of thing Ultimates were made for and I really appreciate how cool it looks. The tongue out scan is sits a little high on the neck peg for my liking which is a real shame because it's an awesome scan. The belt is awesome, the jacket is great, very happy with this figure.         Hollywood HoganF I N A L L Y! Hard to believe it took this long to get a Mattel Hollywood. I made a horrible custom way back in like 2012 or 2013 and then replaced that with the Storm Hollywood a few years later, but it's great to have an official Mattel Hollywood. I love the yelling scan and it's a little thing, but the detail that went into his gloves is really cool. Definitely worth the wait, brother.                          WrestleMania BAF Paul Ellering ChynaI definitely wanted this era of Chyna, but I think the gear could have been made to look a little shinier or something, seems a little plain. Also would have been cool if it came with her bazooka, used a Marvel Legends Punisher one instead.       HBK Shawn MichaelsMine has a little bit of black paint on the torso from the tights which is annoying, but it's a really nice figure. Not sure if this makes the cut for my shelf because I already have a ton of HBK's out, but at some point when I have more real estate it will get a spot.    GoldbergReally only need it for the Ellering piece and the Blue Universal title, besides that, if you have the RAW ring Goldberg, this is pretty useless.           EdgeReally cool that Bill was able to get us Test and disguise him as Edge! Much like Goldberg and HBK, I don't really see this going on my display.         AOP & LOD Help Build Paul Ellering... together?                 Paul ElleringAdding the sunglasses and newspaper from Marvel Legends Gwen Stacy makes this figure really perfect to me. I think Rocco is a really fun random accessory and although I probably won't display him with it, it is cool to have. Glad this figure found its way out of figure purgatory and into my collection!      |

Nice. Too bad HBK didn’t come with the younger head of Ellering, because HBK and the younger Ellering are all I want from the WM set.

Nice! I still don't know if I'm going to pick up the running change or not. Oh man, forgot to mention how annoying this aspect of the Ellering figure is. Worst part is the torso/jacket piece is tucked in the box in a way where it will be hard to tell if its the open jacket or not. |

These pictures are sick!!! Does the Keith Lee vest actually zip up? Also -- if you don't want the HBK and want to make back some money from the BAF, I'd gladly take it off your hands

Also -- if you don't want the HBK and want to make back some money from the BAF, I'd gladly take it off your hands Keith's vest clips together in the front with three holes. Thanks for the offer but I'll probably regret selling HBK in a few months, so I'm just gonna put him in a ziplock bag until I have more space. |

it took over a month to finally get my Christmas gifts & other orders thanks to USPS, opened everything yesterday and took some pics, will be posting pics of the AEW stuff in that board if interested.   Elite 81 Stunning Steve Austinhad to order a second one for the WCW Tag Belt.   Series 115 Humberto CarilloI wish the chase was the regular version cause that gear pops a little more, but this is a pretty solid basic, real good likeness in the scan, is this guy in witness protection? I feel like I haven't seen him in a LONG time.    Series 115 Tegan NoxI don't think the likeness is not there at all for Tegan, and the five-head doesn't help either. It's slightly better in person, but still they didn't do a great job on this one.     Series 116 Dakota KaiI am thrilled to get Dakota and Tegan and more new characters, but much like Tegan, this figure leaves a lot to be desired. The scan isn't great & the gear choice was beyond stupid, she wore this for what? a week or two? Come on.    Team Kick Elite 82 Alexa BlissMuch like Stunning Steve, I grabbed an extra Alexa cause I don't know when we'll get another Women's tag belt.  Elite 83 Dusty RhodesI have absolutely zero use for this figure, if anyone is interested in it, PM me, $20+ shipping.   Elite 83 Michael PS HayesThere really is not a lot going on with this figure, especially knowing we probably won't ever get Bam Bam or Buddy to go with him.      Elite 83 King CorbinAllow me the opportunity to vent here... Holy mother of God, it took Mattel 2 years to get us a CORRECT BALD, Corbin when he's been on TV every week the whole time, and a year to get us King Corbin, and when they finally do, it's SHORT AF and has skinny arms. Brutal. If it was scaled properly it would be a great figure thank God the cape kind of hides the deficiencies, but just horrible, and the worst part is, thanks to SprEadShEeTZ, what are the chances they ever correct this for future Corbin's?      Elite 83 Drew McIntyreI was soo content with the NXT Elite Drew that I had, I didn't think this was that significant of an upgrade, but in hand, it is absolutely great. I was very surprised by that.      Elite 83 Sasha BanksAgain, Sasha has had blue hair for over a year, Mattel's turnaround is atrocious. The figure itself is really nice, the jacket is a PAIN to get off and on.        Elite 83 EdgeI was so excited for this figure, but between the face looking a little wonky and having the TOO SWEET hands instead of the rock-star hands, I just don't really like it as much as I thought I would. I hope the Ultimate is a big improvement.        
I have Elite 84 Rhea and Garza on pre order as well as 117 Toni Storm, and they all look pretty good from the pics we've seen, hopefully they are better than some of these. Not many of these were worth the month+ USPS delay I had to endure.

Some nice additions to the vault. I still have to pick up both E83 Edge figures.

found the Decade of Domination figures a few days ago at Walmart and my order of E84 and Toni Storm came from Ringside last week.  Series 117 Toni StormToni is probably my favorite female wrestler at the moment and I anxiously await a future elite release, but this is a pretty solid figure for a basic. I'm a little bummed that mine has paint scuffs on her butt  but I will probably grab the chase at some point and hope that 1 will be better.    Elite 84 Angel GarzaScan is good, attire is good and I really like the tear away pants, good figure!       Elite 84 Rhea RipleyBig time improvement over her basic figure, should have come with the NXT Women's title or UK Women's title.        Amazon Fan Takeover Shayna BaszlerBasically got this for her signature pose hands, forgot to take loose pics.  Decade of Domination Series 2 I had all of these figures ordered on Walmart.com the first day they went up, but like others I had all of them except Kofi cancelled. I was very glad to find them after hitting up like 5 or 6 Walmarts.
 DOD 2 Beth PhoenixLong overdue for Beth to get an elite, I think the color choice was perfect to make her figure stand out, really like it.     DOD 2 Big ShowI never realized they didn't make a 1 strap Elite Big Show until this figure was first shown so I felt compelled to grab it.    DOD 2 KaneObviously the star of the series for a lot of people, myself included. I have the old Ringside exclusive, but the added 'burnt' head with the hair makes this figure fantastic. I think they should have included the molded towel that most bald Kane's have gotten, I found that a little strange it doesn't.       other pick ups/V-Day gifts     |

I love the pics. Rhea Ripley is my favorite female wrestler right now so I wish I could say I love her elite but I can’t. The deco work on the pants is great but they made her way too skinny. I don't like the head sculpt either, mainly the hair is what bugs me. The color is off and she didn't have it shaved completely bald on the sides. I know I'm in the extreme minority but I prefer the head on her basic.
That Toni Storm looks great though. I'm going to have to get one real soon. In general I think the new womens basics are a lot better than the mens.
